Ben Bernankes speech and the four asset classes?

Post by DragonJoey3 »

While reading an article this morning on Ben Bernanke's upcoming meeting with congress I noticed something interesting in the article.  The four "impacts" mentioned were "Stocks", "Bonds", "Gold", and "The Dollar."  Though you all might find the article interesting, even though we should be keeping a longer term view than just one meeting with congress it helps to reaffirm the ideas that Harry was right when he picked those four assets.

It all comes down to fundamentals...

Way to point this out!  Super interesting.

The genius just killed the mortgage market. Watch the FED unwind all that they have accomplished over the last few years in a couple of days.
